Her hair looks and sounds just like my Mazie.
I finally gave up on topknots most of the time, because not only was there not much hair there to gather, and the bands and clips constantly slid out....but they also seemed to pull out what little hair she DID have.
I don't really have her hair cut into "bangs", but I just took an electric razor and ran it up through that nose/eye area a couple of times....you don't really SEE the resulting layers, but it's enough to thin out her bangs enough that the majority of it isn't falling right in her face all the time.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense....hard to explain!
